Chapter 40 The black-faced youth and Master Huang’s test
Yu Que stood in the fire room and thought for a long time, and finally gave up on the plan of performing the "Seven Corpses Returning Light Lamp" again.
Although this lighting fixture is good, the process of setting it up is too scary, painful, and terrifying.
Although Yu Que had already prepared for it, he was quite depressed during the process of practicing the method and did not want to do it again for the time being.
Moreover, although this kind of spiritual ritual is good, it also consumes a lot of energy and spirit of the caster.
Yu Que has just finished using it. Although his spirit is high due to the breakthrough, in fact, it is just "frail" and he must spend a lot of time to recuperate afterwards.
Otherwise, extreme happiness will lead to sadness, which may cause harm to the body, go crazy, and leave hidden dangers.
So he suppressed the greed in his heart and secretly warned himself: "Be greedy and bite off more than you can chew."
At the same time, Yu Que looked around the fire room again and said to himself:
"Even if I use this lantern ritual next time, there is no need to do it so outrageously. This time, I have to do it in order to enter the Tao."
It is said that in the "Seven Corpses Returning Light Lamp", there is actually not only the "tongue hanging from the roof beam" method, there are other methods that are feasible and do not require such pain and suffering. There is even a method among which you can ask a doctor to do it. The living dead come and let the other party suffer on his behalf.
It's just that this time Yu Que wanted to use this method to enter Taoism, and what he chose was naturally the most stringent step in the lantern ceremony.
In this way, he can reduce the side effects of cultivating the Yin God with the help of the lamp instrument to the minimum, or even to the point of being almost non-existent.
Now it seems that although he suffered a lot, the effect is indeed good.
Whether it's his body or his soul, after the ritual, there is no sign of going crazy in either of them. There are no drawbacks. They only need to spend more time polishing them and there will be no worries.
But now that Yu Que has become a Yin Shen, and has divine consciousness as an aid, he can borrow this lamp to practice in the future, and he can adjust it accordingly without being too afraid of its side effects, nor does he need to suffer too much.
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Que gave up and pushed the family god's familiarity to perfection in one breath, but his eyes were still full of expectations, and he felt that the future was promising.
“The good times are yet to come.”
He whispered, packed up the items in the fire room, immediately opened the stone door, and walked out of the place.
Seeing the sun again, Yu Que felt the glare of the outside sun for a moment.
But he kept walking and walked out quickly, intending to thank the concierge and "show off" the results of his retreat again, so as to get a few words of advice from him.
What makes him regretful is that only Uncle Qing's recliner is still there at the door of the fire room, but the figure of the other party has disappeared, and he does not know where he went.
It was not that there was no one at the gate. Instead, there was a young man with a gloomy face and a face as black as coal. He was standing at the door with his sleeves rolled up and his eyes narrowed. He seemed to have temporarily taken over Uncle Qing's duty as a gatekeeper.
There was no need for Yu Que to say hello. As soon as he appeared, the dark-faced young man opened his eyes fiercely, and looked at Yu Que fiercely like lightning in his eyes.
When he saw that the person coming out of the fire room was a living person and not an escaped ghost, the man's eyes were surprised, and then softened a lot. After looking at Yu Que for a few times, he narrowed his eyes slightly again and said lightly:
"Now that you have left customs, you should file it on your own. Pay what you need to pay, and pay what you need to pay."
After hearing what the other party said, Yu Que hesitated a little. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and coughed lightly.
It is said that when he walked into the fire room seven days ago, he borrowed a favor from Uncle Qing and did not spend any money to rent it. Therefore, he did not even have a number plate in his hand. Naturally, when he came out this time, he had no number plate to file and pay.
Yu Que took a few steps forward and saluted the dark-faced young man: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, this junior is here to visit Uncle Qing."
He looked a little embarrassed, spread his hands, and smiled at the other party: "I didn't know that I needed a number plate."
The dark-faced young man raised his eyebrows. The man opened his eyes again and looked at Yu Que, then squinted and said:
"Master Qing's nephew?"
When Yu Que heard this, he hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
As a result, the other party did not wait for his answer, so he closed his eyes again, put his hands in his sleeves, arched towards the door, and whispered: "Then move more quickly and get out quickly, don't let others see ”
"Yes." Yu Que hurried down the slope. He thanked the young man, lowered his head and walked quickly towards the outside of the crematorium.
When he was about to step out of the crematorium, the voice of the dark-faced young man suddenly sounded in his ears again. Although it was more than ten feet away, it was clearly audible:
"By the way. You have just become a Yin Shen. In the past few days, be careful not to be arrogant or impatient. Do not eat incense first. It is best to fast for a few days and work and rest like a mortal. Wait until the fire in your heart has dissipated before you can meditate. If you are green I have already told you everything else, so you can ignore this.”
Yu Que paused slightly. He stood at the door of the crematorium. He turned around and looked at the dark-faced young man. He found that the young man still had his sleeves rolled up and his eyes closed. He looked like a stranger should not enter, as if the words just now were not said by him. .
With a look of surprise, Yu Que bowed towards this person for a long time before leaving completely.
After leaving the crematorium, he continued to walk around the county school until it got late, then he belatedly left the treasured place of the county school, took a car and then walked back home.
After arriving home.
After not seeing him for seven days, his uncle and others were very concerned about him and asked questions. Only when they saw that he was completely intact and there was nothing missing, did they feel relieved.
In such a harmonious family atmosphere, Yu Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he felt that the depression and frustration he had accumulated during the seven days of seclusion was poured out in an instant, and he felt at ease.
It's night.
He originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot, call out the Yin Shen he had cultivated, and then tamp it down, and feel the wonderful feeling of being in the Yin Shen state again.
But he remembered the warning of the black-faced young man in the county school. After much hesitation, he chose to suppress his restless mind.
"Anyway, it's only a few days, so it doesn't matter. You should reward yourself and take a few days off."
Yu Que secretly thought in his heart, he simply didn't even do his past fairy studies homework, kicked his legs, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next few days.
He ate and slept at home, occasionally picked up and dropped off his two cousins, and even went to his cousin Fu Yun's Fu Yun painting studio to sit in on one or two classes to see if he had any talent in Fu Yun.
The results of the audit disappointed him greatly.
Standing outside the talisman studio, the ghostly talismans in the room seemed to him to be twisted and irregular like snakes and insects.
Just a few more glances made him confused, which proved that he didn't even have the qualifications to succeed in talisman painting, and he really had no talent.
In this way, he was sometimes leisurely and sometimes busy, and his life was quite fulfilling.
Seven days later, with the help of medicine, the wound on the tip of his tongue had completely healed without even a scar.
His whole person also returned to his former appearance, and he looked more sunny and cheerful than before, as if the glass had been washed away from dust, and it was clear and clean, instead of having a ghostly and cold look on his face. At this time, when Yu Que picked up "Huangshan Baosong Meditation" again to practice, it was different from usual.
As soon as he closed his eyes, before taking thirty breaths, his mind and body were already in a state of tranquility, and the state seemed to last for a long time.
In a state of tranquility, as the green smoke filled the room, his Yin Shen jumped out of his body and appeared outside.
I saw that under Yu Que's evil spirit, the cat-faced family god also jumped out. The other person's body was hunched, and he was riding astride him, extremely submissive.
Yu Que, with a gleam of yellow light on his body, was riding the cat-faced family god, hovering around the body in the room.
This was his second time out of body, but he still felt that this experience was extremely novel.
If it weren't for the guardian incense that was only entrenched in his room, he would have wanted to leave his body and go to the room of his uncle and others to see what it would be like to meet other living people in the state of Yin Shen, and whether he would take it seriously. Danger.
After having a good time playing, Yu Que was not playful, but the Yin Shen returned to his position in time and put himself into a state of contemplation.
He saw a huge pine tree, shaped like a mountain, appearing before his eyes again.
As Yu Que contemplated this object, he suddenly felt a sense of admiration in his heart and was immersed in it.
During this process, his Yin God bloomed with a bright yellow light. The light slowly flowed inside and outside his Yin God, polishing his Yin God's body and absorbing a little bit of it from the cat-faced family god. A little inspiration.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
During this process, the cat-faced family god remained obedient. Even if its spiritual power was extracted, it did not dare to make any trouble in front of the huge treasure pine and lived peacefully.
The second day.
After Yu Que woke up, he opened his eyes and felt refreshed and hungry.
He raised his eyes to look at the light outside the window and found that he had been practicing for most of the night and stayed up until dawn, only to be awakened by the morning light.
This is a huge difference compared to when he could only meditate for half an hour or a quarter of an hour before.
As for the effect, Yu Que didn't need to check it carefully, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, except for the hunger in his belly, which felt like he could eat a cow, there was nothing wrong with him, and he was in great condition!
So he no longer had meals with his family as usual, but took out his alchemist robe, put on his belt, shoes, socks and other items neatly, and rushed towards the alchemist guild with great interest.
He had followed the advice of the black-faced young man in the past few days, which had dissipated the anger in his heart, and now that the time had extended for seven or eight days, it was time to go to Huang Guishan to report the good news, and also to the Alchemist Guild to ask for the "urn" "job".
Yu Que was full of expectations in his heart: "I have cultivated my spiritual consciousness not long after joining the guild. I am also young. I don't know what kind of job the guild will give me. The grade should not be much different..."
With high expectations, he walked into a wine shop on the road and had a feast. Although he failed to eat a cow, he still ate a whole suckling pig and drank several large cups of herbal tea to relieve his tiredness.
It is said that the reason why Yu Que is so hungry is because he stole the spiritual power of the family god while visualizing, and the family god devoured his energy, which forced him to restore his energy through diet.
This also made him even more interested in opening an ancestral temple as soon as possible and using incense to support the family gods while eating breakfast.
Not long after, Yu Que walked into the alchemist guild and successfully found Lao Huang in a corner.
Huang Guishan had been taking a nap early in the morning, but he did not fall into a deep sleep. Yu Que walked up to the other party, and the other party noticed that someone was coming and opened his eyes in a daze.
Yu Que stepped forward and saluted the other party with a smile: "Meet Master Huang."
As a result, without him taking the initiative to say anything, Huang Guishan only glanced at him, and his eyes that were still confused suddenly widened.
The man straightened up and looked at Yu Que's whole body in surprise.
In an instant, a stream of spiritual consciousness spread out from the other party's body and landed on Yu Que's side.
This feeling of being spied on immediately caused Yu Que's discomfort. Fortunately, Huang Guishan's spiritual consciousness did not try to invade Yu Que's body, so Yu Que suppressed his disgust and allowed the other party to look at him.
Huang Guishan thought about it for a while, and after confirming that he had seen it correctly, his eyes brightened, and he subconsciously glanced left and right, then grabbed Yu Que's sleeve and asked Yu Que to follow him:
"Let's go! Follow me."
Yu Que was slightly surprised, but he didn't resist and followed the other party towards the inside of the guild in small steps.
The two of them walked to a quiet room. After Huang Guishan sealed the doors and windows, he looked at Yu Que again with bright eyes.
This person's eyes were too hot, and he clapped his hands suddenly: "Okay, okay!"
This kind of behavior made Yu Que even more confused. He secretly muttered that he had made the breakthrough and not the other party, so why did this person appear to be happier than him.
"I didn't expect you to be able to become a Yin Shen in just half a month. If I was right, you only used the "Seven Corpses Resurrection Lamp" once and you became a Yin Shen!?"
The other party stared at Yu Que closely, expectantly.
Yu Que didn't hide anything and nodded slowly.
At this moment, he was feeling a little uneasy, worried that there might be some problem in the lamp that he didn't know about.
As a result, Huang Guishan got the answer, and his face was even more happy. He couldn't help but slap Yu Que on the shoulder and said:
"Good boy. If you want to use the "Seven Corpses Returning Light Retrospective Lamp" to enter the Tao at once, you will either have to tie the neck with steel wire, or have to pierce the tongue and collarbone with iron wire, or even endure the pain of skinning, and then have to endure at least seven days and seven nights. , to succeed.”
What this person said was exactly what was written in the ritual booklet, and Yu Que nodded slightly.
The clinker Huang Guishan said again: "I haven't seen anyone in this guild who can endure such torture for at least thirty years. In the past thirty years, there have been many people who have taken a fancy to this lamp, but not many people dare to choose it." Even if there is a candidate, it will be abandoned halfway before the seventh day, which is a waste."
This person marveled in his mouth: "Huang originally estimated that there was a 60% chance that you would retreat in the face of the battle and ask me to try another ritual. There was a 30% chance that you would give up midway and ask me to help you recuperate... Just Waiting for you to come see me again.
Gee, I didn’t expect you to survive in one breath! ”
When Yu Que heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect that this thick eyebrows and big eyes could not explain clearly, but he was waiting for him here.
